What if Riteish Deshmukh, Sidharth Malhotra & Shraddha Kapoor starrer Ek Villain is remade in Malayalam? Read this week's Mollywood Retake to know more about this..
Ek
Villain,
the
Bollywood
movie,
which
was
one
of
the
major
releases
of
the
year
2014,
featured
actors
like
Sidharth
Malhotra,
Riteish
Deshmukh
&
Shraddha
Kapoor
etc.,
in
the
lead
roles.
The
film,
which
narrated
a
love
story,
with
some
thrilling
elements,
was
directed
by
popular
film-maker
Mohit
Suri.
Ek
Villain,
emerged
as
a
big
success
at
the
box
office
and
is
still
one
of
the
best
movies
in
the
career
of
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Sidharth
Malhotra
&
Shraddha
Kapoor.
Interestingly,
Ek
Villain
was
based
on
the
Korean
movie,
I
Saw
The
Devil,
which
had
won
several
critical
acclaims.
In
the
Hindi
version,
the
movie
was
finely
placed
to
a
milieu
quite
relatable
to
the
Indian
movie
audiences.
What
if
Ek
Villain
is
remade
in
Malayalam?
Who
all
will
be
the
perfect
replacements
for
Riteish
Deshmukh,
Sidharth
Malhotra,
Shraddha
Kapoor
&
others
in
case
of
such
a
remake?
In
this
week's
Mollywood
retake,
we
discuss
about
this
interesting
scenario.
Nivin
Pauly
As
Guru(Sidharth
Malhotra)
The
character
of
Guru
Pratap
Singh
would
be
safe
in
the
hands
of
someone
like
Nivin
Pauly.
Guru,
a
goondah
whose
life
changes
after
the
entry
of
his
lady-love,
was
portrayed
by
Siddharth
Malhothra
in
the
original.
If
ever
a
Malayalam
remake
happens,
Nivin
Pauly
is
sure
to
excel
in
this
role,
as
he
could
do
complete
justice
to
both
the
shades
of
the
character.
Kunchacko
Boban
As
Rakesh
(Riteish
Deshmukh)
This
particular
role
was
a
career
defining
one
for
Riteish
Deshmukh.
Undoubtedly,
this
one
is
the
best
written
roles
in
this
film.
The
character
Rakesh,
a
frustrated
husband,
is
filled
with
extreme
grey
shades
and
would
be
a
challenging
one
for
any
actor.
In
case
of
a
remake,
we
feel
that
Kunchacko
Boban
will
be
the
perfect
choice
for
this
role.
We
all
know
his
extreme
acting
capabilities
and
he
is
sure
to
take
this
character
to
another
level.
Nithya
Menen
As
Aisha
(Shraddha
Kapoor)
Aisha,
the
free-spirited
girl,
who
brings
about
a
change
in
Guru's
life
was
played
by
Shraddha
Kapoor
in
the
original.
Nithya
Menen
will
be
the
obvious
choice
for
this
particular
role,
if
ever
Ek
Villain
is
remade
in
Malayalam.
She
is
a
really
talented
actress
and
her
charm
will
also
do
a
lot
good
for
the
role.
Saiju
Kurup
As
Aditya
Rathore
(Shaad
Randhawa)
This
particular
character
holds
due
importance
in
the
narration
of
the
movie.
It
was
actor
Shaad
Randhawa
who
portrayed
the
character
in
the
original
and
in
case
of
a
remake,
we
feel
that
actor
Saiju
Kurup
will
fit
in
to
this
particular
role
with
ease.
Srinda
Arhaan
As
Sulochana
(Aamna
Shariff)
A
vital
character
in
the
movie.
Sulochana,
the
wife
of
Rakesh,
is
one
such
character
who
always
ridicule,
belittle
and
nag
her
husband.
We
feel
that
Srinda
Ashab
shall
be
the
apt
choice
for
this
important
role
and
is
sure
to
take
this
character
to
another
level
with
her
performance.
Well,
it
would
definitely
be
a
great
on-screen
combo
to
witness
if
Nivin
Pauly
&
Kunchacko
Boban
step
in
to
the
shoes
of
Sidharth
Malhotra
&
Riteish
Deshmukh
respectively.
The
film,
with
its
theme
too,
would
deliver
something
new
to
the
Malayalam
cinema.
